Will this also mean that we may miss out on the TV highlight money 7K I think?

if thats true i will be fuming

[Bob]

The highlight money might be if its an actual outside broadcast with a commentator, rather than a clip of the goals.

And there was never a chance of there being a broadcaster with a commentator, so we've not lost anything.

My plans looked to have been screwed up as trains from here to Burton on Sunday take nearly 5 hours each way (IF they are not disrupted by engineering works). Plus my kids are back at school on the Monday.

[ASMO]

I'm being selfish  but i now can go , if it had been Saturday i would of been working , so i benefit , because of the change there will be 3 people with me also who would not of been on the Saturday , some you win some you lose 

[Jimmy]

Going to take Monday off so treat it as a saturday but still tedious

[Uncle Globnasty]

Being a Sunday means I can go, would not have been able to do Saturday or Friday night. Flights booked. God knows what I'm going to do with all my spare time hanging around East Mids, but that's another matter. Far from a glamour tie, but we are in the 1st round proper, almost forgotten what it feels like.

[Toff Apple]

If by some means we do cause an upset we won't get the media coverage we would have got.  Still take the win though

[Jenga]

To be honest I dont think Burton v Alty will attract any media, it is a sterile tie as far as the press, cameras and reporters go.

[anglo alty]

We were a great FA Cup side going back half a life time div 3 and 4 teams genuineley feared us, Burton away would be a great time to re build that reputation it is do able they are not playing that great confidence can't be that great ripe for it i'd say

I'm at least expecting a picture of Reevesie holding a trowel in the Evening News on the Friday before it.

Some very negative views of Burton Albion on here aren't there? Is there some past history I've missed?  

Anyway, at first I was quite disappointed by the draw after running Sheffield Utd and Macclesfield scenarios through my mind but I've warmed up to it a bit more now. It's going to be a tough one but it could have been a lot worse for me and I'm hoping we've got enough to at least compete with them. There's a little chance to get something out of the game I think but as I've said for our games against Shildon, Leek and Boston, I'd be extremely pleased with a draw.

Will be quite good to go back to the Pirelli too, always quite liked that ground for some reason.

No history, just a disappointing draw. Most fans either want an easy game to progress to the next round or a glamour tie that will give the fans a good day out and earn the club a hefty payday. Burton doesn't fit either category.

I like Burtons forum name - Clough the Magic Dragon.
